BOEN 181 Live Natural Engineered Timber Flooring
Description

BOEN has established itself as one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of engineered timber flooring through continuous investment in technology, quality, and design. Its state-of-the-art production facility in Lithuania enables the brand to deliver exceptional flooring solutions while expanding its market share worldwide.

Live Natural is a surface treatment made from natural oils like sunflower, thistle, and soya bean, along with carnauba and candelilla waxes. The oil treatment deeply penetrates the wood, saturating the pores and adding depth and lustre to the grain. With regular maintenance, this method offers superior liquid protection.
